Psychedelic Preparation Phase
The psychedelic preparation phase is licensed pre-work—intentions, screening, coping plans—before medicine sessions, not last-minute dose decisions.
The psychedelic preparation phase is structured pre-work in licensed care—intention setting, medical review, contraindication checks, relationship boundaries, and coping plans for difficult material. It may span multiple therapy hours before any medicine session.
Literacy contrasts preparation with impulsive use; it includes pausing when sleep, mania risk, or unstable relationships are active.
Common questions
-
How long does preparation usually last?
Clinical models often use one to three preparatory sessions depending on protocol and complexity. Rushing prep when sleep or mood is unstable is a common contraindication signal.
